TSC Commissioners to Visit Schools this month for assessment

The teachers’ service Commission has released an elaborate programme to visit schools across the country. During the visitations, the Commissioners will among other things observe compliance with the teaching regulations and financial management by schools. This comes as teachers across the country continue to oppose the Evaluation method used by the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) to assess teachers. The evaluation Process known as Teacher Performance Appraisal and Sevelopment (TPAD) has been blamed to be paper and labour intensive, by the teachers.

In the itinerary released today, a total of 13 teams will traverse selected schools across the country this month with an intent of advising teachers on curriculum implementation.
